deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky

Mellow Out

Sometimes you just need to chill the eff out. Right now is the time for music that lowers blood pressure and soothes over the fact that there a million and one things looming on the should-have-already-been-done list.

Sigur Ros and Dustin O'Halloran radio stations have been a bit of a lifesaver this week. For a variety of reasons.

So hear (pun intended) is a taste of my soundtrack when . . .

...feelings flip flop.

...stress pulls in every direction.

...stacks of homework need to be graded.

...my inbox has more than 3 emails in it.

Skin by Sade

When I found out this love's undoneI was like a gunSure as it was overFelt like nothing good could comeSure as it's gonna play and playLike Michael back in the dayI'm gonna peel you awayNow as I beginTo wash you off my skinI'm gonna peel you awayCos you're not right withinI love you soSometimes love has to let goSo this time don't thing it's a lieI say goodbyeNow as I beginTo wash you off my skinI'm gonna peel you awayCos you're not right withinNow it's timeTo wash you off my skinNow as I beginIt couldn't be right cos you're not right withinI say goodbye
